CryoLife shall have the right in its sole discretion to conduct the defense of, and to settle, any such claim; provided, that , in the event that any claim is settled without the written consent of the Securityholder Representative, such settlement shall not be dispositive of the existence of an indemnifiable claim or the amount of Losses.
